With the math-addition, yes.
However, there are still issues with math in HTML:
* using MathML with the html4css1 writer (XHTML 1.0/traditional)
does not produce validable documents (there is no dtd with this
combination)
The html4strict writer can output documents conforming to
'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN" '
'"http://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml2/xhtml-math11-f.dtd">';
but it is still in the sandbox.
* using the Math to HTML conversion from eLyXer solves this problem
and also works with legacy browsers without MathML support.
However, it requires loading a stylesheet which currently implies
rather unhandsome config values (or command line args) like::
[html4css1 writer]
stylesheet-path:
/home/milde/Code/Python/docutils-svn/docutils/docutils/writers/html4css1/html4css1.css,
/home/milde/Code/Python/docutils-svn/docutils/docutils/writers/html4css1/math.css,
embed-stylesheet: yes
Solutions could be:
a) inclusion of the math stylesheet in the default html4css1.css
+1 simple
-1 blows up the default style for only sometimes required feature
-2 math.css is requires CSS2 constructs.
b) a list of directories to search for stylesheets
+1 scales (providing also for simple selection of syntax
highlighting styles for source code (see below))
+1 a well know concept (although the usual name "...path" cannot
be used due to the existing stylesheet-path option which does
something completely different).
Two expansion variants:
i. like the binary PATH and the PythonPath: expand relative
filenames until a match is found.
ii. like the "include" directive: expand only if the path argument is
enclosed in [ ].
* the "MathJax" output variant seems the most stable and best supported.
-1 requires java script
-1 requires an internet connection (or local http server and MathJax
installation).
Maybe this should become the default anyway.
Also, I'd like to finish the "sourcecode" (or just "source") directive
with syntax highlight via pygments. But maybe another release can be
done relatively fast...

As discussed in detail about a month ago
(and as far as I know it was not fixed),
the current handling of verbatim text
(putting it in a quote environment)
breaks LaTeX slide writers.
I would hope for a fix to this before the
next release. (I suggested some fixes.)
